Woman Spends More Than $30,000 on a Wedding ... For Her Dog!

“My dogs are my pride and joy so nothing is too good for them,” 32-year-old Louise Harris, who runs the British dog boutique Diva Dogs, told The Telegraph. “I enjoy spoiling them because it makes me happy.”

This isn’t a picture of the dog that got married. This is a picture of my dog, wearing a baby-size bathrobe. Which is ALMOST as ridiculous as spending $30,000 on a dog wedding.

Well then I’m sure Louise was really happy on her dog Lola’s wedding day, which set her back 20,000 pounds—more than $30,000!

Just as they do for a people wedding, the costs of this dog wedding really added up. Here’s what Louise spent, in pounds:

Said Louise: “It was meant to only be a relatively small affair with 30 guests but the list just kept getting bigger and bigger because I didn’t want to leave anyone out!”
